Interpreting the Schöningen 13II-4 butchery sequence using the Harris Matrix
2021
Abstract The Schoningen 13II-4 site is well known for the discovery of multiple wooden spears in association with a large assemblage of Middle Pleistocene fauna. Such extraordinary organic preservation also extends to a wide array of bone surface modifications that can be used to reconstruct Middle Pleistocene hominin butchery practices. On bones with few hominin-induced marks, the butchery sequence can be determined quite easily. However, the sequence becomes increasingly more difficult to decipher in bones that include a high number and diversity of biotic and abiotic modifications. To aid in this process, we developed a simple approach for determining the order of bone surface modificati…
Can hip resurfacing be safely revised with short-stem total hip arthroplasty? A case series of six patients.
2021
Abstract Background The usage of short stems in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) has constantly gained popularity over the last decade, however, to date, short stems are not eligible to be used as revision implants. The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the outcome of revision surgery of failed hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) using short-stem THA. Methods In a single center, retrospective analysis, 6 consecutive patients who were treated with a calcar-guided short stem after failure of HRA were evaluated. The mean follow-up was 3.25 years (SD 0.45). Patient reported outcome measurements (PROMs) were recorded using the Harris hip score (HHS) and The Western Ontario and…
Managing archaeological excavations with an Archeaological Information System (SIDGEIPA)
2003
Se analizan diferentes aspectos del proceso que hemos seguido para desarrollar e implementar un software completamente nuevo para gestionar excavaciones arqueológicas. El software llamado SIDGEIPA (Sistema Distribuido para la Gestión Integrada de excavaciones arqueológicas) incluye diferentes módulos que permiten a los usuarios almacenar datos arqueológicos de diferentes fuentes (excavaciones, prospecciones, literatura científica, colecciones de museos ...) y procesarlos automáticamente para simplificar la investigación arqueológica. Técnicamente, Sidgeipa está construido en código Java, utilizando Postgres como SGBD y con las bibliotecas VTK y GEF para visualizar los datos. La arquitectura…
Traumatic damage to the cartilage influences outcome of anatomically reduced acetabular fractures: A medium-term retrospective analysis
2011
We reviewed 77 patients with an acetabular fracture, treated operatively through a non-extensile approach after an average time of 45 months. The ilioinguinal approach was chosen in 41, the Kocher-Langenbeck approach in 36 patients. Following the Letournel classification, the most frequent lesions were posterior wall (26%), two-column (22.1%) and anterior column (14.3%) fractures. Subchondral impaction, intra-articular fracture fragments and fracture comminution, called modifiers, could be identified in the preoperative CT-data of 38 patients (49.4%). Patients were operated after an average of 4 days. Average hospital stay was 19 days. Sciatic nerve and peroneal nerve palsy were registered …
Mid- to Long-Term Outcome of Cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty in Younger Patients
2010
Purpose. To assess mid- to long-term outcomes of cementless primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) in younger patients. Methods. Records of 28 women and 34 men (75 hips) aged 18 to 55 (mean, 38) years who underwent primary THA using a hydroxyapatite-coated stem and a threaded cup and had been followed up for a mean of 10 (6–15) years were reviewed. 13 of the patients had bilateral THAs. Clinical and radiographic outcomes were evaluated. Results. After a minimum follow-up of 7 (range, 7–14) years, 12 (16%) of the hips were revised, of which 8 (11%) were for the cup. The causes for revision were late deep infections (n=2), aseptic loosening of the cup (n=4), and polyethylene wear (n=6). No stem…
The pianigiani-yorke measure for topological markov chains
1997
We prove the existence of a Pianigiani-Yorke measure for a Markovian factor of a topological Markov chain. This measure induces a Gibbs measure in the limit set. The proof uses the contraction properties of the Ruelle-Perron-Frobenius operator.

A generalized Degn–Harrison reaction–diffusion system: Asymptotic stability and non-existence results
2021
Abstract In this paper we study the Degn–Harrison system with a generalized reaction term. Once proved the global existence and boundedness of a unique solution, we address the asymptotic behavior of the system. The conditions for the global asymptotic stability of the steady state solution are derived using the appropriate techniques based on the eigen-analysis, the Poincare–Bendixson theorem and the direct Lyapunov method. Numerical simulations are also shown to corroborate the asymptotic stability predictions. Moreover, we determine the constraints on the size of the reactor and the diffusion coefficient such that the system does not admit non-constant positive steady state solutions.
The Artek cup for total hip replacement of dysplastic hip joints.
2003
One specific difficulty in total hip replacement for developmental dysplasia of the hip is a shallow acetabulum with a short anteroposterior diameter. In a prospective cohort study we investigated the short-term results of the Artek cup, designed with a shallow outline and a height-reduced metal inlay for a large size 38 mm metal head, in a group of female patients with mild dysplasia of the hip.Fourteen consecutive patients with 17 dysplastic hip joints were included in the study. Their average age was 42 years. Fourteen hips had dysplasia Crowe grade I; 3 hips had dysplasia Crowe grade II. The femoral head centre was localized according to Pagnano in zone 1 in 3 cases, in zone 3 in 6 case…
Sicilia e Grecia La conservazione dei monumenti alla fine del Settecento
2015
Fin dalla seconda metà del Settecento in Sicilia si inizia a tutelare, e dunque conservare, i monumenti dell’epoca classica della città di Taormina e perfino un gruppo di alberi secolari, chiamati il “castagno dei cento cavalli”. Inoltre, nel 1778, il governo borbonico istituì, per tutti i monumenti antichi della Sicilia, una commissione formata dai “Regi custodi” – sopraintendenti delle antichità, da un architetto esperto di monumenti antichi, da un pittore di vedute e da un capo mastro, per studiare e rilevare lo stato di conservazione dei monumenti stessi. A seguito di queste indagini, nel 1780, furono approntati i primi interventi di restauro nel tempio di Segesta e in alcuni templi di …
